We're sure being royalty has its perks.
You get to call people peasants and sit in the fanciest chairs ... all-in-all, it's probably a pretty sweet gig.
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry last month, her father was not in attendance.
It's still not entirely clear why Thomas Markle chose to stay home rather than watch his daughter become freakin' royalty, but not surprisingly, it seems he now regrets the decision.
In terms of twists of fate that are universally fantasized about, becoming royalty is right up there with winning the lotto or receiving an owl delivery informing you that you've been accepted to Hogwarts.
And like so many Power Ball victors and budding wizards before her, Meghan Markle is learning that the reality is far more complicated than the dream.
It's been less than three weeks since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got married, but the couple isn't wasting any time when it comes to the business of starting a family.
We've known from the start that Harry and Meghan want to have kids ASAP, but now the issue is somewhat complicated by those stodgy Brits and their dodgy rules about inheritance.
As you've no doubt heard by now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be married in less than two months.
The couple began dating in 2016, and they obviously haven't wasted any time in rushing to the altar.
The Queen has spoken, folks.
In an official statement issues on Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II basically looked at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, considered their affection for one another and said the following:
Call us crazy, but we think this whole Meghan Markle-Prince Harry relationship is getting pretty serious.
We got this inkling back when the two first got together... and then it grew stronger last summer after Harry released a public statement that asks trolls to leave his girlfriend alone.
While often seen as traditional, Queen Elizabeth II has always proven that even she can break from tradition when she chooses.
Is she planning to do so again in the most unexpected of ways - by retiring from the throne she has held for nearly 65 years?
Meghan Markle is a divorced American newcomer, poised to marry into the British Royal Family. Kate Middleton is pregnant with yet another hair to the crown.
As much as Kensington Palace tries to quash rumors of a feud between Kate and Meghan, people notice when one woman is stealing another's spotlight.
In April, Queen Elizabeth II turned 91 years old.
With 65 years on the throne, she's one of the longest-reigning monarchs in recorded history, and she remains beloved across the globe thanks to her tireless humanitarian efforts and refreshingly no-nonsense attitude.
Rumors about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle getting engaged have been circulating pretty much from the day they went public as a couple.
Everything we've seen seems to indicate that Harry and Meghan really are that serious and really will get hitched eventually.
We've been hearing rumors for months that Kate Middleton is pregnant with what would be her third royal baby in five years' time.
We've also been hearing whispers that she may soon be queen, with Elizabeth II set to promote Kate and Prince William ahead of Charles.
Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton may become Queen of England sooner than she ever expected, according to a recent report.
For the mother of two, that means mixed emotions.
Note: Take a quick glance at the image below. You might just be looking at your soon-to-be King and Queen of England right there.
Note: You are indeed looking at a photo of a smiling Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, not a photo of Prince Charles.
From the moment we first learned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were dating, the tabloid media has been breathlessy reporting on every engagement rumor that comes down the pipe.
So the fact that the proposal hasn't happened yet (that we know of) has many scrambling for an explanation.
Mere days after the marriage of Pippa Middleton to James Matthews, members of the Royal Family have been forced to go from celebratory to melancholy.
On Monday night, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive inside Manchester Arena that took the lives of 22 people.
Last month, Queen Elizabeth II of England postponed her annual holiday train voyage to Sandringham Hall due to illness.
The Queen and Prince Philip made the trip by helicopter 24 hours later, and the delay was downplayed by royal sources.
If you watched The Crown on Netflix, you know that Queen Elizabeth II is a bad bish with zero f-cks to give.
Meghan Markle has enjoyed quite the boost in popularity in recent weeks.
As you've probably heard, Markle is dating Prince Harry and tabloids on both sides of the pond are rabid for details about their romance.
The Royal Family is known for many reasons around the world:
Its possession of wealth. Its powerful and yet completely powerless position in Great Britain. The way certain members make sweet and passionate love to Meghan Markle.
That is quite a waistline for someone carrying twins.
